This work deals with a stationary axisymmetrical heat transfer problem in a combined domain. This domain consists of half-space joined with a bounded cylinder. An important feature of the problem is the possible flux singularity along the edge points of the transmission surface. Domain decomposition is used to separate the subdomains. The solution for an auxiliary mixed boundary value problem in the half space is found analytically by means of Hankel integral transform. This allows us to reduce the main problem in the infinite domain to another problem defined in the bounded subdomain. In turn, the new problem contains a nonlocal boundary conditions along the transmission surface. These conditions incorporate all basic information about the infinite sub-domain (material properties, internal sources etc.). The problem is solved then by means of the Finite Element Method. In fact it might be considered as a coupled FEM-BEM approach. We use standard MATLAB PDE toolbox for the FEM analysis. As it is not possible for this package to introduce directly a non-classical boundary condition, we construct an appropriate iterative procedure and show the fast convergence of the main problem solution. The possible solution singularity is taken into account and the corresponding intensity coefficient of the heat flux is computed with a high accuracy. Numerical examples dealing with heat transfer between closed reservoir (filled with some substance) and the infinite foundation are discussed.

The rapid development of electronics leads to the creation and use of electronic components of small dimensions, including nanoelements of complex, layered structure. The search for effective methods for cooling electronic systems dictates the need for the development of methods for the numerical analysis of heat transfer in nanostructures. A characteristic feature of energy transfer in such systems is the dominant role of contact thermal resistance at interlayer interfaces. Since the contact resistance depends on a number of factors associated with the technology of heterostructures manufacturing, it is of great importance to determine the corresponding coefficients from the results of temperature measurements.The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of reconstructing the thermal resistance coefficients at the interfaces between layers by solving the inverse problem of heat transfer.The complex of algorithms includes two major blocks — a block for solving the direct heat transfer problem in a layered nanostructure and an optimization block for solving the inverse problem. The direct problem was formulated in an algebraic (finite difference) form under the assumption of a constant temperature within each layer, which is due to the small thickness of the layers. The inverse problem was solved in the extreme formulation, the optimization was carried out using zero-order methods that do not require the calculation of the derivatives of the optimized function. As a basic optimization algorithm, the Nelder—Mead method was used in combination with random restarts to search for a global minimum.The results of the identification of the contact thermal resistance coefficients obtained in the framework of a quasi-real experiment are presented. The accuracy of the identification problem solution is estimated as a function of the number of layers in the heterostructure and the «measurements» error.The obtained results are planned to be used in the new technique of multiscale modeling of thermal regimes of the electronic component base of the microwave range, when identifying the coefficients of thermal conductivity of heterostructure.

Heat transfer phenomena at the rock–cutter interface are extremely significant since they affect the polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutter's performance in rock cutting/drilling processes. The understanding of how temperature and heat flux responses in the cutter influence the intrinsic mechanisms of the rock–cutter interactions is an essential prerequisite for providing insights to enhance the performance of PDC cutters and to optimize rock cutting/drilling processes. In this paper, a mixed boundary value heat transfer problem was formulated to analytically describe the heat transfer phenomena in the PDC cutters during two-dimensional (2D) orthogonal rock cutting under steady state conditions. An analytical solution in the form of an infinite series was derived based on the method of separation of variables, the use of appropriate simplifications in the formulated problem and the separation of the thermal from the mechanical phenomena. A series of experimental tests were conducted on a newly developed rock cutting testbed to calibrate the process parameters in the analytical solution and then to confirm the validity of the assumed boundary conditions. The comparison between the newly derived analytical solution and the experimental data shows a good match in terms of temperature responses during rock cutting performed by PDC cutters.

This is a comparison of calculations performed with a scheme for handling streamwise-periodic boundary conditions with known solutions to the common problem of fully developed heat transfer in a plane duct. Constant value, constant flux, mixed boundary conditions, and linear wall flux (conjugate heat transfer) are all considered. Agreement is, in every case, near exact showing that the methodology may be applied with confidence to complex engineering problems with a variety of thermal wall boundary conditions.

An integral transform operator U[?(t)= 1/? ???? ?(t)?-i?t dt is considered to solve the steady heat transfer problem in this paper. The analytic technique is illustrated to be applicable in the solution of a 1-D Laplace equation in the half-plane. The results are interesting as well as potentially useful in the linear heat transfer problems.

An axisymmetric problem of interaction of a rigid rotating flat ended punch with a transversely isotropic linear piezoelectric half-space is considered. The contact zone consists of an inner circular adhesion region surrounded by an outer annular slip region with Coulomb friction. Beyond the contact region, the surface of the piezoelectric half-space is free from load. With the aid of the Hankel integral transform, this mixed boundary value problem is formulated as a system of dual integral equations. By solving the dual integral equations, analytical expressions for the tangential stress and displacement, and normal electric displacement on the surface of the piezoelectric half-space are obtained. An explicit relationship between the radius of the adhesion region, the angle of the rotation of the punch, material parameters, and the applied loads is presented. The obtained results are useful for characterization of piezoelectric materials by micro-indentation and micro-friction techniques.
